The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Tip - Alchemy Skill Building

To master alchemy extremely fast, do as follows:
-learn and become familiar with the item duplication trick with arrows.
-find two alchemy ingredients with at least one similar effect.
-use the item dupl. trick to make about 75 copies of both ingredients.
[it doesnt have to be 75, but the number should be the same for both.]
-go to the create potion screen. [you need at least a mortar and pestle]
-add both of your dupl. ingredients
- press "create potion" (X), and keep pressing it until you only have one
of each left. [dont press it too fast or the game might skip a few]
-by doing this your alchemy skill will skyrocket.
-when your done you should have a crapload of potions, so just drop
them or sell them, or use them if you want.
